Camilla “Cam” (Elser) Brock, 98, of Lafayette, Ind., passed away on September 13, 2023 at The Springs at Lafayette.  She was born on September 24, 1924 in Lafayette to Frank and Mildred (Dailing) Elser.  She married Francis E. “Frannie” Brock on June 4, 1949 and they enjoyed 64 years of marriage before his death on November 19, 2013.

Cam graduated from Saint Francis Catholic School in Lafayette where she was 1943 Homecoming Queen.  She worked at Alcoa in Lafayette from 1943 to 1950, which is where she and Frannie met while playing Euchre during lunch.

We have memories of our farm days with digging trenches for water lines; moving and reassembling grain bins; your participation in planting the crops when our mother passed in may 1964, harvesting the crops when my father passed in December,1968; and the friendships we have sustained. You are in our prayers. John Deck
